1985 porsche 911 turbo

10/29/2018 1:30 est Filed to: For Sale By: Bradley Brownell Comment In what was possibly the largest and most talked about single-marque auction ever, RM Sotheby's pulled off an incredible feat. The Porsche Auction was held at PCNA headquarters in Atlanta this weekend, and there were a few takeaways from the event that made headlines in our minds. First, it's important to remember that Project Gold is more than a regular 993 Turbo S, it's a one-of-a-kind factory-built brand new 993 Turbo S with lots of unique visual cues and media attention. Regardless of all that, it's absolutely mind-blowing that it reached 3.1 million dollars. Second, there are some big moves in value coming for the transaxle cars. With a 924 trading hands for over 50,000 dollars, these cars are finally getting the attention they deserve. I'm trying something new with the realized prices you see below. Prices falling under their pre-auction estimate will be highlighted in red, while those that exceed their … [Read more...] about 2018 RM Sotheby’s Porsche Atlanta Auction Results

10/8/2018 10:48 est Filed to: For Sale By: Bradley Brownell Comment Later this month, just a few days before Halloween, Porsche and RM Sotheby's will be serving up some treats during the Porsche 70th Anniversary Auction in Atlanta, Georgia. With 123 lots of Porsche goodies, ranging from original dealership posters and children's cars to a low mile 924 and a full-blown 959 Dakar racer. No matter what era of the Porsche history you appreciate most, there will be something in store for you to bid on. This is the largest Porsche-only auction I've ever seen come to fruition, and it could seriously set the market in the near future.

Story and Photos by Zachary Mayne When Porsche 911 addict Alex Motola had to settle on a color for his ST-inspired 911 project, he took the easy way out. He simply left the decision to someone else. More specifically, that someone else was his daughter, Kate. He did limit her choices to the early Porsche color palette the factory had used. Despite his best efforts, the palette was quickly discarded by Kate, who simply said “pink.” Spoken like a true 7-year-old girl. “Well, pink wasn’t exactly going to cut it,” chuckles Alex. “Certainly not the bubble gum pink variety favored by 7-year-old girls.” Luckily, there is a shade in the vintage Porsche color catalogue that the two could agree upon: Fraise, which is French for “strawberry,” is a rarely seen color. … [Read more...] about Tasty Fraise: An Old-School Porsche 911 In Pink

ISLE OF MAN — A line of Porsche 911 GT3 RS cars, spanning several generations, splays out along the narrow two-lane road. The Isle of Man is damp, rain sputters against the grassy hills, and as we climb Snaefell mountain road, each car in succession is obliterated by fog. Suddenly, I'm alone in the oldest and most precious of the lot, an original 2.7 RS, feeling my way up the mountain at a snail's pace, peering ahead at the massive RS wings swimming in and out of the mist. There'd be breaks in the weather in the day ahead, to rip the mountain air in short, delicious bursts, but first I had to get out of this fog without punting any sheep, or worse. The original 911 2.7 RS is a screamer, or at least it was in its day. By the standards of its descendants, it's almost sedate. And there's no real comparison to its explosive, searingly green successor — a 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS with the Weissach Package, which is the main event — or at least, it would have been, with dry … [Read more...] about 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS meets its parents at the Isle of Man
